 "Prateik Babbar's half-brother Arya reveals Raj Babber is 'very very hurt': 'He would know that his mother, the great Smita Patilji...'")
Prateik Babbar recently tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend Priya Banerjee in an intimate ceremony. While the dreamy pics of their marriage garnered love from netizens, the wedding has sparked controversy within his family as the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na didn’t invite his father, veteran actor Raj Babbar, and half-siblings.
Raj’s elder son Arya Babbar has expressed his disappointment and revealed that their father is very hurt by Prateik's decision .
“Somewhere we as a family must have failed him. Not inviting other members of our family, my mother (Nadira Babbar), my sister (Juhi Babbar), or me could be condonable: maybe we have failed him as a family, although we have never treated him as a stepbrother. Lekin chalo, shaayad humse koi bhool ho gayi ho (Perhaps, we made a mistake). But Papa? Not inviting our Papa, his Papa (Raj Babbar)… how can he do this? Papa is very very hurt. By doing this, Prateik has hurt his mother, the great Smita Patilji, as well. If he stops to think for a moment, he would know that his mother, whom he respects and loves so much, must be very hurt. Would she want this?" said Arya while talking to SCREEN.
“We have always considered Prateik an integral part of the family. The doors of our hearts are always open to him. We hope he is happy in marriage and finds his niche as an actor," he added.
While talking to HT, Priya Banerjee spoke about Raj Babbar, and his half-siblings, Aarya and Juhi Babbar’s absence from the ceremony and said, “There was absolutely no family member who was missing from the wedding or our celebrations. I don’t know why there are rumours that “family members" were absent. Our families where there including my parents, his aunts who raised him, his nana-nani and everyone who mattered and is family was with us. And there was absolutely nobody who is family was missing."
